"According to another Gallup poll, roughly 75 percent of Americans believe the Founding Fathers would be disappointed in how the country has turned out."
To be fair, a least half of those respondents probably feel that way because too many damn woke liberals, women and minorities.
I saw Nashville five times in one week in a movie theater in Providence, RI. Imagine my delight a year later when I recognized my new college classmate Victor as one of the singers in the movie's gospel choir!
I was going to object to "...a majority of Americans..." as he did get the majority of the votes, but less than VP Harris and the other candidates combined, plus all of the non-votes of the Americans eligible to vote not voting. However, throwing away your vote on a third party candidate, or not voting at all, makes you a part of the problem, which in this case, is trump being president. So you are correct, a majority of Americans thought it was swell to put trump back in the WH.
Imagine being so myopic and hateful and stupid to actually blame the weather on liberals. Listen, if we had that power a Cat 5 hurricane would have wiped out Mar A Lardo years ago.
What a wasted opportunity. Just another thing we lost by not having Harris or Biden in office. And something struck me too about how Murc's Law works with rhetoric. Ever notice Dems always have to speak in unifying terms? But there is never widespread condemnation when Republicans fail to? Or decide not to?
You sure wouldn't find a Confederate flag at a modern Dem administration's event.
I read a point that stuck with me—the MSM treats Democrats like their representatives and gets mad when Democrats don’t take their advice. But the MSM treats Republicans like a weather phenomenon—no one can expect them to listen to anything, they’re just a force that happens.
That is indeed Murc's Law and why I harp on this so much. And the permission structure that comes out of this is awful because it extends to the legal system too!
With 33% - AT LEAST - of the Republican Supreme Court of the United States avidly willing to support a dictatorship, yah, we'd damn well better be worried.
For a guy who wants so desperately to be loved, Trump is simply incapable of doing anything to enable others to love him. He just can’t do anything other than needy asshole mode.
Imagine where a president had the self control to appear humble and gracious, and give a rousing speech that was nonpartisan. There’s precedent for this—Bush after 9/11, FDR after Pearl Harbor—but you can’t even imagine Trump pulling this off. He’s so consumed with hate and resentment and insecurity that he can only do things to get others to hate him, until all that’s left is a gross rump of thugs who only like him because the people they hate can’t stand him.
Trump is such a seething mass of emotional dysfunction that it almost defies description. His unique combination of massive egotism combined with such obvious insecurity, his inability to exhibit any scintilla of grace, his need to dominate alongside his obsequiousness toward those he identifies as more powerful than himself, all combine to create a pathology that is so extreme it is hard to imagine. Only in politics could such a horrible person generate rabid followers, each of whom must contain some germ of the same weaknesses within themselves.
Blame the weather on liberals. I didn't expect anything else from MAGA.

If we actually had that kind of power the planet wouldn't be speed running it's way to being a second Venus.

Sorry about this. See longer comment.

Not only that, but we would have won all of the elections. Sheesh!

It is why being ruled by a narcissist is always a bad time.
